Bernie and I met shortly after she started flying. I was only a month send it to her. It was love at first flight… I remember the trip so well… We had a Detroit layover at the hotel. We met Lauren Green who was the actor on Bonanza… Who could forget that! Bernie was a wonderful friend. We talked often Food together at Minneapolis for a while and then I went to Chicago Base and closer to my home and easier commute soon I went to Detroit and Bernie followed sometime later. We leave we flew many many many trips Together, and went to many many many masses While on our layovers.! Bernie was very instrumental in my walk with a Lord. We became like sisters and I loved Bernie so much. Even though she lived in Miami and I lived in Akron, we talked often and remained very very close. I remember the day Tom called me and said you won’t believe this, but Bernie’s going to retire. She needs to be talked off the ledge, press the button on the computer on the paper she had filled out about retirement. No one could ever say a bad word about Bernie. She was always cheerful, wonderful worker and most importantly she was my friend for 50 some years. I miss her deeply. She was one of a kind. I loved Watching her play the bones, which she did so Amazingly well… Her father and her brother were on Ted Mack amateur hour back in the 50s. They played the bones… She wanted very much to carry on their legacy and she did. I remember when she met Tom she knew he was the one and they were married happily for over 50 years. I know it is like to lose someone that you love and they loved each other to the end, I said it was an honor to take care of my husband, and Tom said it was an honor to take care of his wife, his friend, his companion for the many years that she was ailing. God bless Tom and his strength and may God help him with the rest of his journey as he moves on. He was a great husband a great listener a great friend. They understood each other and isn’t that what good marriages are about?
